Best LED placement

[PhilBoisvert]

Hey guys, I 1 30cm LED strip in white comming in the mail and i wanted to know what would be the best place to pu it in my case.

I have a Corsair Air 540, a 3 slot GPU and a tower cooler (NH-u14s)

 

Thank, I am shooting for a blue theme build but I didn't want blue LED in there because I though it would be too much blue. I will probably paint the top of my cooler in blue and maybe the ring (not the wings) of my Noctua fan in black. Case fan ar mix of AF and SP corsair fan.

 

Thanks!

i am gonna move my LED strip to behind the mobo and have it pulse through the grommets

 

When you get it, try it around, not sure why trying it around would be a problem

I have mine running along the floor and up a front rad.

A good rule of thumb is to place LED's it in hidden areas and letting it cast light outwards an not let the LED's be directly seen or have reflections off of parts in the system, mostly around the top and bottom lip or panels. For a even more subtle glow you can place a diffuser strip over the LED's.

I always put them on the top on the border near the left side panel.

Hey guys i am planning a build with either the h440 or an r5 but as far as led placement i want to get rgb strips to accent the innards you know so that way if i ever upgrade i can easily change lighting to suit the mood or aesthetic. but would one strip above the windowed sidepanel be sufficient or would maybe more around the panel be better?
